Cambelt(s) should be checked as a

matter of course (unless one is to adopt automatic replacement at 8
years/100,000miles)


There are a lot of cars out there that require cam belt replacement at
60,000 or even 40.000 miles so every 100,000 isn't a good idea.


Must be using economy belts or there are other problems with design or
assembly the manufacturer isn't being open about.
